Just for some reason, some healthy individuals immune system
count becomes very low and it is not due to any type of infection / virus.

This symptom is called ICL and what causes ICL is still unknown.

Bro dugger, thanks for sharing, but it looks to me from the web link that it mentioned this ICL is not transmittable... which the news report I saw says its can be transmitted even via saliva... which is quite serious...
Which means by kissing, it will transmit.... wonder how true is it...

"Non-AIDS" Illness and Death

Now that people with AIDS are living are longer, there is more research on other causes of illness and death. These "non-AIDS" causes of death include liver disease, non-AIDS cancers, and heart disease. Overall, these deaths are decreasing. However, research shows a clear link between lower CD4 counts and the risk of death.

I would be cautious at what the media says since they tend to sensationalized things.

Now based on the symptoms, from http://www.allvoices.com/s/event-870...IyODIyMDAuaHRt

<The "patients" said they had displayed symptoms very similar with AIDS, such as swollen lymph nodes, subcutaneous bleeding, joint pain, fatigue, nights sweats and emaciation>

Swollen lymph nodes means there is some sort of infection that you body is fighting against. It does not mean necessary AIDS. Syphilis can cause the lymph nodes to swell. Even having a cold/fever may cause the lymph node to swell and even cause joint pains or fatigue http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/sw...ymph_nodes.htm

emaciation - Don't know whether these patient have been dieting or starving themselves due to depression or something.


To put AIDS in the simplest explanation, it means the human body has very very low immune system count or non at all and due to this the human body is not able to fight even the simplest of infection like a cold. Basically your body is open season to all types of diseases/infection.


For now, http://www.allvoices.com/s/event-870...IyODI3MzYuaHRt

China has down played this to just phobia.

So far as I read, non have reported that these patients have compromised immune systems which is AIDS. They just report of them having all the indications of some sort of infection. There is also no official word on any transmission method other than what is speculated.

We'll just have to wait and see what the CDC finds since HIV is not detected and it could just be some new super bug.

Or it may be some form hepatitis, since there are some hepatitis have the so called potential to transmit through saliva but it is still consider a small risk. example

Important thing is to remain calm, be level headed and not jump to any unfounded conclusions as this will cause more harm.

The China MOH has said that it is due to psychological effect.

Wow so dangerous.

A lot of times we mistake AIDS for anxiety, especially, when we think that we got AIDS. Its a very vicious cycle. So relax. Likely is that you are too worried. If you really scared, then next time don't chiong.
